Igman .303 ball

[Ian]

I was recently shown some Igman .303 ball ammo loaded with 180 grain FMJ bullets. Has anyone used this ammo, is it good, bad or ugly

It works. It's not match grade, but it goes bang and the bras is reloadable

I've shot a fair bit of igman, cheap and goes bang. Brass is reloadable but not as nice as the prvi stuff

[Stevo]

I've never seen any Igman for sale. Where do you find it in Edmonton, woodchopper? How much is it? Not that I need to pay for .303, but I am curious about it.

[woodchopper]

I bought 200 rds of igman from milarm a few years back $70/100 but I have not seen any at that price lately.

I got a sandbag 1/4 full of IVI 303 brass that I've been reloading and have not bought any 303 now for about 2 years

I have been keeping my eyes open for the prvi partizan ammo, it has nice brass, or at least the last batch of 100 I found was nice for relaoding.

You are right about privi partizan ammo,..very nice brass...haven't seen it around for along time....Igman .303 is available at Things Military in Calgary...

Around 13 bucks for 20 rds

Hey Ian
I shot a lot of Igman 7.62x39mm through my CZ-858 Tactical,my Czech sweety likes this ammo very much .With my Eotech on top I am getting 1-3 " groups without trying at 100 meters.Besides I can reload now ha ha .all I need now is time to reload .Go ahead Ian it's good stuff.

I haven't tried the .303 as I have lots of Winchester and Dominion/IVI/Imperial brass left to do me a lifetime. However , bought 10 boxes (200 rounds) of 8x57IS, 170 grain, soft point hunting loads. It worked well in a couple of Mausers.

With that much hunting ammunition at hand, I just had to order a Husqvarna 96 Commercial 8x57 from Trade Ex. (Like we really can invent any excuse to buy another rifle.) It really likes this stuff, and shoots as well as Winchester or Remingtons. However, that's only one rifle, and another may be different.

It is reloadable, and I have used Igman 8x57 brass to make 9.3x57 brass, running them through a Hornady resizing die with one pass, after lubricating the inside of the necks. Didn't lose any cases.
